About this map

Fourche La Fave River snakes across the landscape in deep meanders, defining the topography of this central Arkansas region. Much of the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Ouachita National Forest, where steep ridges like Link Mountain and Cedar Mountain rise above valley floors. Settlements like Nimrod and Aplin are situated near the riverbanks, served by essential local crossings such as Rocky Crossing.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including Nimrod Cem, Garland Cem, and Deberrie Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of hollows, most notably the lengthy Long Hollow and Brushy Hollow. Higher elevations are marked by infrastructure like a Lookout Tower and a Radio Tower, while the Gaging Station along the South Fourche La Fave River monitors the vital waterways that shaped these early communities.
